Early Bird, The

General Quest

Wald tells you how Billina, the queen of the hen house, has stopped laying eggs. If she doesn't start producing, Wald's dad will make her dinner, and Wald doesn't want that! You will get to determine why Billina is not laying eggs.

STEPS:

1) Examine Billina. Billina is a differently colored chicken, and a bit larger than the others (31.9s, 74.5w). Double-click Billina and select 'Play' to begin a 'chicken play' session, where you become a level 1 chicken. You learn that "Billina looks very hungry."

For yucks, here is Brasse as a chikkin (near Billina):



2) Collect 4 earthworms for Billina. You will find Mounds of Dirt in fields close to the one your chickenself starts out in.



Double-click them to dig and scratch and hopefully find some worms (not every mound will have them). Your session is timed, but you have PLENTY of time, 20 minutes. If you get too close to the Tuskers, they will attack you, so you may need to utilize your temporary run buff, Fowl fleetness.

3) Talk to Billina. Waddle your way back to Billina and give her your earthworms (the new feed does not agree with her). This ends your Chicken Play session.

4) Talk to Wald Sandson.

5) After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, and you will now be able to take the next quest, The Sky is Falling.
